The most common indications for surgery were the presence of a solitary thyroid nodule (56%) or the onset of pressure symptoms (30%). Carcinoma was found in 7.4% of cases. Wound complications occurred in 5%. The permanent nerve injury rate was 0.67%. The incidence of permanent hypothyroidism after surgery was 4%. No patients developed permanent hypoparathyroidism.
